ask: Jillian Michaels diet pills do they really work?
Has anyone tried the new Jillian Michaels QuickStart Rapid weight loss program, Maximum strenght fat burner pills, or the Thincare international Jillian Michaels maximum strenght calorie control tablets, or the triple process body detox and clense. If so could you tell me is it safe and is it worth the money?

Jillian Michaels has a weight loss web site you might be interested in --
http://www.jillianmichaels.com/
Michaels is about "real weight loss for real people," as you probably know if you've watched her work with the contestants on The Biggest Loser. She has a LOT of information on her web site about healthy activity and weight loss, and a daily email newsletter you can sign up to receive.
She does sell her weight-loss supplements (in addition to her books and other diet- and fitness-related products) on her website. Her supplements are designed "to restrict your calorie intake automatically," which means, basically, that when you take them before a meal, they help you feel full. The products are a bit pricey -- $30, $40 and $60, for a 14-day supply. I can't give you any research or information on how safe they are because the website doesn't list the ingredients. But maybe someone who's tried them will get online here and let us know.
In the meantime, here's a SELF magazine article about Michaels' own diet:

November 11, 2009 - 10:09ami took one bottle of the fat burner and lost 5 pounds, i was extremely happy with the pills as they do not give you gitters or any bad side effects i have had with many other pills. i recently bought the calorie burner instead of the fat blocker. i wanted to see the difference between the two. i am noticing it takes a few days for my body to get regular and let these supplements work and am starting to see it with the calorie pills. i truly like these supplements and will be purchasing them together as soon as i can.
July 19, 2010 - 11:15amI have used the Jillian Michaels products and the DEFINITELY work! I feel way lighter, more energetic and overall healthier. The key is too eat healthy while you are doing her program. When I bought her product I received one free week of her online program, it was excellent! It really helped to guide you into making good food decisions and getting active! Good Luck!
May 3, 2011 - 11:30amGlad it seems to be working for you. Would you mind sharing with us your weight loss goals? Are you trying to lose more than 20lbs, or are you using the program to lose those last few lbs? Just curious.
May 4, 2011 - 9:47amPlease update us on your progress, and share any information you feel may be helpful to others.
Take care,
Christine
I have been taking Jillian Michaels weight loss supplements for 2 weeks now and I have already lost five pounds and I feel great. I have PCOS and been going to nutrionist for a few years been put on so many different diets and nothing worked. Thanks to Jillian I am finally losing weight.
September 2, 2009 - 12:34pmSo your post was from September 2nd. How have you been doing since then? I just started the pills and I would love to hear how it is working for you.
September 11, 2009 - 5:36amI also have PCOS. I tried the Supplements for 2 weeks as well. I didn't loose a pound. I excersise 60 minutes 5 mornings a week. Eat between 900-1200 calories a day. I still way more than I should. The pills didn't work for me.

October 23, 2009 - 1:49pmThe most likely reason you're not losing any weight is that you are actually eating too FEW calories. Your body needs as certain amount to function properly and when you eat less than that, your body kicks into starvation mode and hangs onto all the fat stores it can. Try calculating your resting metabolic rate (or basal metabolic rate) using a formula you can find on google. Then add in a few hundred calories more and stick with that. Never dip below 1200 calories, especially if you are exercising!!! This is very unhealthy. You need more calories to function, and there is no way you can get adequate nutrition like this. Also, you may want to consider going to an endocrinologist. I don't know much about PCOS, but I am aware that it can really alter your hormone levels, which may also contribute to your struggle to lose weight. Good luck, and please stay healthy!
Hello there,
I know what your saying about not eating "enough Calories". I agree that I think sometimes I have my body in "starvation mode". I have tried slowly adding calories back to my diet before and only end up gaining about 10 pounds. I seem to do ok if I stick to 1200 a day. My sister is a Nurse practitioner and we talk at length about this. Yes PCOS is or can be a balancing hormone nightmare. :) It affects my bodies ability to use insulin to process sugar correctly. So I don't eat many sugars/sweets or starches. The problem I have is I am not considered medically "overweight" so getting insurance to send me to a specialist has been a battle. My OB is helping me with this, but as of now, I have not been able to see one. It is frustrating because the only reason I am not "overweight" is because I go to extremes not to be. :) I would LOVE to sit down with a Nutrition Expert who is aware of the affects of PCOS and find some sort of balance to my diet and exercise life.
I use Jillian Michaels 30 day shred video as part of my workout. I do like it. I didn't shred, but I like the routines. :) I am glad the suppliments are working for some people!
Thanks for your comments!
